Casa Ole Green Sauce Recipe

Craving that signature Casa Olé Green Sauce you get at the restaurant? I know the feeling,  and that’s why I had to recreate it at home. This sauce is rich, creamy, and has just the right tang from salsa verde and lemon juice, balanced by the smoothness of avocados and cream cheese. It’s so versatile that I use it not just for dipping tortilla chips, but also as a spread for sandwiches, a topping for grilled meats, and even a dressing for fresh salads.

I promise, once you whip this up, you’ll never look at store-bought dips the same way again. The best part? It only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish.

Step-by-Step Sauce Preparation

Making this Casa Olé Green Sauce is as easy as it gets. Here’s exactly how I do it to get that creamy, restaurant-style finish:

1. Add the Main Ingredients to the Blender

I start by adding the avocados, salsa verde, cream cheese, green chilies, and sour cream into my food processor. This creates the rich, smooth base for the sauce.

2. Add the Seasonings

Next, I sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and lemon juice. These give the sauce its signature flavor: tangy, zesty, and slightly garlicky.

3. Blend Until Ultra-Creamy

I blend everything on high for about 1–2 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides with a spatula. The goal is to have a completely smooth, lump-free sauce.

4. Taste and Adjust

Before calling it done, I taste the sauce. Sometimes I’ll add a little more lemon juice for extra brightness, or a pinch more salt if I want the flavors to pop.

5. Chill Before Serving

While you can serve it immediately, I’ve found that chilling it in the fridge for 30 minutes lets the flavors meld beautifully.

Serving Suggestions

One of my favorite things about this sauce is its versatility. Here’s how I love to enjoy it:

• Classic Dip: Pair it with crispy tortilla chips or warm pita bread for a Tex-Mex appetizer.
  
• Taco & Burrito Topping: Drizzle over carne asada tacos, grilled chicken burritos, or even breakfast burritos.
  
• Salad Dressing: Thin it out slightly with milk or extra lemon juice for a creamy, tangy salad dressing.
  
• Sandwich & Wrap Spread: Spread it on turkey sandwiches or veggie wraps for a fresh twist.
  
• Creative Pairings: Believe it or not, a small dollop goes great with grilled shrimp, roasted potatoes, or even as a topping for baked fish.

Storage Instructions

Keeping It Fresh

Because this sauce is avocado-based, it’s best enjoyed fresh, but it will still keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge. I store it in an airtight container, pressing a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the lid. This helps prevent oxidation and keeps that gorgeous green color from turning brown.

Freezing Tips

Technically, you can freeze this sauce for up to a month, but I personally don’t recommend it,  the texture changes once thawed, becoming less creamy. If you do freeze it, make sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight and re-blend it before serving.
